8 things to expect with Dwyane Wade and Rajon Rondo joining the Chicago Bulls

This pairing could be a surprise or a shock with equal ease

Bulls’ General Manager spoke of “going younger, more athletic and building it back up moving into the future." Adding two stars in their 30s who are both past their prime seems totally contradictory to that philosophy.

Fred Hoiberg is one of the most mild-mannered coaches around the league. He only drew his first technical foul after 628 games as a player and coach. Over the offseason, as the Bulls unloaded Joakim Noah and Pau Gasol, he might have entertained dreams of developing a fast paced offence like he had at Iowa State. Instead, he gets two old guards whose athleticism has nearly failed them in his backcourt.

One of those guards is infamous for butting heads with his coaches, if not held in check Rajon Rondo wouldn't think much before literally head-butting a coach who errs in his unforgiving eyes.

The coach is going to have his hands full this season.
